I couldn't agree more. This model dwarfs the 700 in size. Much more presence in the air and flies a lot bigger. Technically, it is in the same class due to blade size but while I have always flown my 700's on 690's I prefer 710's on the Whiplash.

I found I switched to 710s myself this week. I been flying all my 700s with 690 blades, I had 710 blades but I never tried it on the whip since it flies so good with the 690. Well after a crash I rebuilded and put the 710 on. All I can say is it is even better, it flies really light at 2150 head speed and it is does big air like it is on rails.

That is the esc , you can see the burnt capacitors towards the top. Looks like a castle. That blows or should I say puffs. Hope he had a separate receiver pack to safely auto cuase that whippy sure looked nice.

Yep it was a castle. Happened just lifting into the hover (about a ft off ground). I think the force of the ESC dying (equal and opposite sorta thing) abruptly pushed the nose down, so the blades hit the deck unfortunately. Typically it was the second flight with the new EX canopy!
